About

Hi, I'm Taylor Hokanson! I'm an artist based in Chicago Illinois. I'm also in the process of redesigning my website; if you want to see even more of my work, check back soon.

Taylor Hokanson is an Associate Professor of Art at Columbia College Chicago. Over the course of a twenty year career, his artwork has exhibited widely at international venues such as Ars Electronica (Austria), SIGGRAPH (Vancouver), ISEA (Hong Kong), and Techfest (Mumbai). His practice is also well-represented online, with research and teaching projects appearing on Instructables, Github, Linkedin Learning, and the Opposable Thumbs podcast.

Taylor Hokanson's art practice is situated on a rapidly collapsing boundary between the real and the virtual. When information, and even objects themselves, can be produced and shared in an instant across the globe, concepts like rarity, authorship, and ownership become as plastic as the data that give them shape. Hokanson problematizes the cultural fallout from this shifting paradigm by creating art objects and events that are confrontational, thought-provoking, and absurd.
